Glenwood opened its 2013 softball season by winning three of its first four games. Pitcher Lisa Nebel tossed shutouts in all three wins.

Nebel pitched a one-hitter in the Rams’ 10-0 victory over AHST. She recorded nine strikeouts and gave up just one base on balls. Cassie Kruse homered in the victory and drove in three runs. Jaelin Stanton scored a pair of runs for the Rams.

As cliche as it sounds, Glenwood’s substate soccer loss to Adel DeSoto Minburn (ADM) Saturday afternoon really was much closer than the final score would indicate.

The Rams took 15 more shots than ADM, but it was the Tigers who would tally three goals in the final 15 minutes of the game to punch their ticket to the state tournament with a 3-0 win before more than 200 spectators at the GCHS soccer field.

The renovation and construction work taking place at the Mills County Courthouse is on schedule to be completed this summer.

Mills County Supervisor Richard Crouch and Mills County Auditor Carol Robertson said the addition to the east side of the building and renovation work taking place within the existing structure is expected to be completed in August.

Exercise has long been known to reduce a person’s risk for getting cancer, and walking is often one of the easiest ways to exercise.

Hundreds, potentially more than a thousand, people will walk during the 2013 Mills County Relay for Life. The event runs from 4 p.m. June 1 to 8 a.m. June 2 at Ram Memorial Field in Glenwood. Leading the event will be four Relay for Life ambassadors - Bob Blasi of Glenwood, Mary May of rural Silver City, Mary Renze of Glenwood and Roger Wyant of Malvern.
